Whittling Away Your Summer

Have some time on your hands? David Esterly’s exceptional Wood Sculpture Carving will make you wish that you could whittle away your summer with such artistry. He is a master woodcarver. With the likes of what one can do in pliable paint, he pulls and twists and carves the wood into unimaginable shapes that are hard to believe that they are actually such a hard solid substance as wood. Look at these examples and read more about his fascinating life and career via The Havard Magazine.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
